What moat does GE Aerospace have?

The advantage is the wing that already carries that engine and the shop that already knows it. The airline can order the next one elsewhere. The moat narrows if the order is not delivered, or if the shop visit is delayed.

How do you read the GE Aerospace radar?

Health is the debt of an engine maker, not of a contract measured in decades. Quality separates the delivery margin from the shop visit. Growth follows engines delivered and flight hours, and they need not rise together. P/E is read against a year of many visits, not against that peak. Shareholder return is the dividend, checked against cash. Do not read it as the engine on nearly every flight.

Which multiples matter for GE Aerospace?

The P/E of a year of many shop visits is not the earnings if the airline delays maintenance. EV/EBITDA is read without treating the order as a delivery. Do not use Boeing's multiple, which sells the aircraft, or RTX's, as if the engine and the defense book were the same. A dash if GE is missing.

What does this GE Aerospace analysis leave out?

Not advice on GE Aerospace. Vaultflake does not count flights, does not state a contract length and does not describe the engine. Read the filings. A past dividend is not a right. The table is a snapshot, not a target price.

GE Aerospace (GE) analysis

Profile and moat

GE Aerospace sells commercial and military aircraft engines, and the shop that maintains them. On the single aisle, part of the trade sits with Safran, in CFM. Pratt & Whitney, at RTX, and Rolls-Royce sell other engines. It is not a duopoly and it is not a counted share of flights. This report states neither a contract length nor how the engine works.

The engine already on the wing sticks for the shop visit until the aircraft is changed. The airline can order the next one elsewhere. An order is not a delivery. The military book is not the commercial flight margin. A year of many shop visits is not normal earnings.

Cash follows deliveries and shops, not the order headline. The dividend has to fit.
